ANOTHER VAN VOORHEES, SPEAKS.

Delegate Charles Voorhees, Expresses His
Opinion of President Cleveland.
W. A. Mcbride. in Cincinnati Enquirer.
met the Hon. Charles S. Voorhees,, repre-
sentative IN Congress for Oregon, and son or
Senator Dan Voorhees, He is here visiting
friends. During conversation he referred to
the interview he had with his brother Jim at
Detroit few days ago, and published in the En-
Quirer at the time.
II do not believe my brother used any such
language" he said. II have no hestancy,
though, in saying, so far as I am personally con-
cerned. that l do not like Cleveland id bit.
OF course have nothing to do with my fathers
views spoke for myself. my father being
has been President who has given the country
Cleveland
.'In what respect?" asked him.
SIN this that he has himself made almost all
the appointments that have been made and they
were entirely in his own interest. Take, for in
stance. Herbert Beecher. now special govern
ment agent at the port of entry, Puget Sound
He was first appointed collector of that port at
the request of his father, Henry Ward Beecner.
Charges of embezzlement were made against
him, and proved to the Senate committee, to
which the charges were referred, and he failed to
get q confirmation. In spite of all this. at the
recess of Congress- Cleveland made him a special
agent at that port In that capacity his appoint
ment would not have to 60 before the Senate at
all. OF course You know Cleveland owed some
as a Democrat. Mr.. Cleveland has no interest
in the party, and the appointment of Beecher
will be loss to our party in Oregon OF 5000
votes. Another is Governor Square. He fought
me bitterly my election, simply because Gen
eIal Brstow, of New York, a mugwump. de-
sired it, he having been friendly to Cleveland at
the time of is election"
Mr. Voorhees, rectsd several other instances,
among them being the case of OwinRs, now Sec
rotary of the State of Oregon.
"Owings took the stump and made bitter
fight against Governor Hendricks calling him
all sorts of vile names. He also attacked Cleve-
land Still, at the request of his brother, an
other New York mugwump. he! is kept in posi-
tion.n
Charley is very wrathy, and makes bitter
kick on President Cleveland. saying that the
President was actuated entirely by selfish no.
tions in making appointments. He will remain
here until tomorrow morning. when he joins
his father, and will proceed TO Washington

A Very Narrow Escape.

CHICAGO, Oct 4--The galantry and presence
of mind of a stalwart streetcar-driver
saved dozen women passengers from horrible
death to- day at the Division-street crossing of
the Chicago & Northwestern railway. As usual
when the neared the crossing the conductor
jumped off and ran ahead to the tracks. He saw
sign of danger and signaled the driver to
tracks, a passenger train came rapidly around a
curve just above it. The faaman waved his
flag and yelled and then let down the gates,
hemmlng the in the tracks The con-
ductor made an unsuccessful attempt to force
the horses back. just the engine almost
upon them, the driver. Patrick Mckeow, struck
the horses a powerful blow and they jumped
forward clearing tho tracks and breaking down
the gate The conductor, Charles Stolen, was
knocked down and seriously injured. but the car
and its occupants were landed safe and sound
beyond the reach of the swift train.

hopes TO get better quarters with the completion

If the Southern roads expect to regain any Of
their tourist business they must abandon the
old fogy policy Of selling round-trip tickets over
only one road. One of the features of the trans
continental lines business is that they allow
tourist or any class of passengers to 60 West
over one route and return by another.
While most of the Indiana roads conform to
the law or the State, which says each coach
shall be carried hand-saw an axe and water
bucket, On most roads they are placed in an in
convenient place and whore it would be difficult
to reach them in case of accident They are
usually behind the stove or on top Of the water
closet, the latter being the last place person
unaccustomed to travel would look for them.
little attention to this matter would be wise
the part of the men in charge Of train equip
ments.
Negligence in operating roads is becoming as
apparent seemingly, on the better class of roads
as on some of less repute. This should impress
the lesson on railway managers that Improving
the track does not necessarily improve those
who care for it, and having prompt acting brakes
and perfected signals does not always train
the men to use them. One thing is becoming
more and more apparent in the railroad service,
that is. that the wages should be such as to draw
the best of men into the service. and again, that
1t does not pay to overwork men.
General Passenger Agent Martin of the Bee
line is feeling nicely over the handsome reve-
nue. the company is this year deriving from
their passenger business. the earnings the last
three months exceeding those OF any ninety days
in the history of the road, even exceeding those
of 1872 and 1873, in which years the travel was
very heavy. Ore of the striking features OF the
passenger business with all the east and west
lines through Indianapolis, is the large east
bound travel from thu Pacific slope we'll as

not a number of Californans on the east-bound
trains who coming back to visit their old

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Unfavorable comment the part of the Bos-
ton Transcript over the delay in reorganizing
the l., b. e. W. road has led to the purchasing
committee issuing an explanatory circular, the
pith Of which is that under the laws of the three
States which the road passes through it was
found necessary to organize a separate company
"a each State. then consolidating the Illinois and
Indiana companies; and afterwards consolidating
his consolidated company with the company
,anized By the committee in Ohio; and after this
Jhe consolidation of the Indiana, Blooming
lon & Western corporation with the Cincinnati,
Sanduska e. Cleveland companies. This process
ID progressing rapidly, but requires much
longer time to conform to the requirements of
fbe statutes of the several States, which are
different in their provisions and require different
forms and periods of published notices in the
various stages of the proceedings. Some meth
DDS of shortening the time were proposed. but
owing to the differences of opinion among coun-
sci to the suficiency thereof. the purchasing
committee concluded that the only absolutely
with the procedure prescribed in each of the
States. 1t is not proposed to allow any question
TO be made concerning the absolute validity of
the new security. The business is proceeding
under the direction of the attorneys of the
spectve companies rapidly and as satisfacto-
ry as possible, but the committee does not
hope to have 1t completed before JAM /, 1883.
To sum up, in order to effect the reorganization
legally. legislation has to be obtained from the
geveral States in which the Indiana, Blooming

the reorganization must drag slowly along dur

BALKY HORSES.

Notwithstanding the fact that
there are great many baking hors-
es in every part Of the country very
few people seem to know how to
treat them. The National Stockman
says that the following different ways
of treating balky horses are recon-
mended: First, Pat the horse on
the neck, examine him carefully,
first on one side and then on the
other; if you can get him handful
Of grass give it to him; then jump
into the wagon and give the word
go, and he will generally obey. Sc
cond, Taking the horse out of shafts
and turning him around in a circle
until he is giddy will generally start
him. Third, Another way to cure
balky horse is to place your hand
over his nose and shut off his wind
until he wants to go. Fourth, Then,
again, take couple Of turns of stout
twine around the forelegs just below
the knee, tight enough for the horse
to feel it tie in a bow knot; at the
first click he viii probably 90 dane
ing off. After going a short distance
you can get out and remove the
string to prevent injury to the ten
dons. Fifth. Again, you can try the
following. Take the tail Of the
horse between the hind legs and tie
it by cord to the saddle girth.
Sixth, The last remedy is as follows:
Tie string around the horses ear,
close to the horses head, this will di-
vert his attention and start him.

They tell good story Of consta-
bic up in the town oflIuran, N. Y.
Several months ago he was given

BIZ" dead beat in that town. The
constable was offered more than his
usual fee if he should collect the
money, and ne spent weeks in look
ing for property upon which to make
a levy. But all in vain; his efforts
were only ridiculed. Then he re-
solved to make a levy anyhow. He
learned that his man was accustom-
ed to 90 to Sodus Bay for swim
with friends every Saturday evening,
and he watched his chance. 1t came
last Saturday, when he crept steal
thily up to the spot where the mans
clothes were lying upon the bank,
while their owner was disporting in
the water below. An armful of
the clothing, hat, shoes and all, was
hastily gathered up by the constable,
who shouted to his victim that he
guessed he was "onto" him at last.
Protests and threats from the angry
man in the. water were Of no avail.
A parley Of an hour ensued, during
which the constable chung to the
clothing, while the unhappy debtor
sat in the tall grass, clad only in his
innocence. Finally one Of the mans
companions, a responsible citizen,
took pity on him and agreed to pay
the debt with costs, whereupon the
clothes were delivered over to the
shivering defendant.
